The Masked Duck is a small stiff-tailed duck ranging through the tropical Americas. They are found from Mexico to South America and also in the Caribbean. Primarily non-migratory, Masked Ducks are reported as very uncommon vagrants in the southernmost United States, along the Mexican border and in Florida. People waited 3+ hours a long the bank for this duck to come out of the weeds just to get a picture. Taken at Viera Wetlands, Melbourne,FL.

Yea, we were there a few weeks ago and the light was real tough.... Awesome job on those ones

It's easy to grin..... when your ship's come in...... AND you've got the stock market beat...... But a man worthwhile...... is a man who can smile...... when his shorts aren't too tight in the seat.
